Question

but和yet可以用作同一个句子吗

Answer 1

【可以的】：

yet有时可与并列连词and或but连用，构成习语and yet和but yet，且两者大致同义(均相当于表转折的but)：

例： I gave him ten pounds (and) yet he was not satisfied.
我给了他十镑但他仍不满足。
例： She drove very fast to the airport, but [yet, and yet, but yet] she missed the plane.
她开快车去机场，可还是误了飞机。

【补充】：
although不与but连用，但是却可以与yet连用。如：

例： Although we have made some progress, yet we still have a long way to go. 我们虽然取得了些进步，但还是远远不够的。
